Just recently, here in Colorado Springs, we were forecast for a dusting overnight. We got 5.25 inches (measured), but it was all gone, some early sublimation, and later, melting, by nightfall.
I've threatened to trademark the term, "Winter weather forcasting is HARD."

It's such a small world! I used to live in C-Springs fifty years ago- 4th INF Div. stationed at Ft Carson! I lived in the east side of town on San Miguel. I imagine the town has grown up a lot since then. I had BOQ off base so it was like a commuter job. Beautiful place. I used to take my sports car up Pikes Peak on a curvy dirt road that I imagine is all paved by now. Good memories.
My wife's a retired Army Nurse. We go to Carson's Commissary because going on an Army base is more familiar than an Air Force (or Space Force) base... and to be honest, the Carson Commissary's laid out better and has more stock than Peterson SFB's does (the Academy Commissary is a cute little place, perfect for the Academy).
The road up Pikes Peak is, indeed, paved, but still a slow drive because of the twists and turns. One of my goals in retirement is to start doing 14ers like the locals, but I've got a little bit more physical training to do first!
